Meryl Streep rocks, it's going to be tough choosing just the one film. *Goes off to ponder* Okay, I'm going to go with 'Sophie's Choice' because she acted her chops off and that film still haunts me and I refer to it as a phrase in it's own right, not often a movie impacts on me so heavily to lead me to do that : ) xx
ReplyDeleteFirst, let me say that this book sounds like a terrific read. Perfect for hazy summer afternoons. It's really hard to pick a favorite movie of Meryl Streep's. The woman is amazingly talented. But I think the one that I find hilarious and have watched several times is "It's Complicated." Meryl, Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin... Need I say more?
ReplyDeleteI think this looks like such a good book! I'm a huge Meryl Streep fan and one of my faves is the sleeper hit HeartBurn.
ReplyDeleteI love so many of Meryl Streep's movies, but she was phenomenal in The Devil Wears Prada! (Of course, she's phenomenal in all of her movies!)
ReplyDeleteThank you for this giveaway! I'm so looking forward to this book. Now...let's see...what Meryl movie is my favourite...I think I might agree with Lucie and say "It's Complicated" though I adored her in "Devil Wears Prada" and "Julie and Julia" as well! Need to go watch some of her older films ASAP!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great question! So many excellent films to choose from. What doesn't Meryl Streep do well?
ReplyDeleteI think she was great in 'The Devil Wears Prada', but her understated eloquence and pain in 'Kramer versus Kramer' come back to me whenever I see her. Perfection!

ReplyDeleteIt's complicated, although devil wears prada comes to a close second. Love the sound of this book.

ReplyDeleteMust agree with Lucie Simone: Alec and Steve and Meryl make for a fan-ta-stic movie. "It's Complicated" is by far my favorite Meryl film, although "Julie and Julia" is closely behind. Actually, anything and everything Meryl does floats my boat. I hope that when I'm her age I can look and be as graceful and fabulous! :)
